Barrie and Jennifer Daniels

Bob will be sadly missed by us both. He loved his sport, particularly cricket and football, and as my (Barrie) older cousin, he played an influential part to my early development. It is not often you have the pleasure of being taught science and PE by your cousin at junior school!! To also play cricket with him at Thorpe CC and football against him as I grew older was a delight. Jen and I were courting when we attended Bob and Norma's wedding in Newcastle in March 1967 - a very special and memorable occasion. Life will never be quite the same without Bob, but we have the consolation of knowing that he has now been reunited with Norma, his loving wife for over 42 years. Rest in Peace Bob, you will always have special place in our hearts. Barrie and Jenny.
